One complete week, seven full days, 168 hours, 10,080 minutes, 604,800 seconds, plus all the other possible combinations of waiting for that long. The day after tomorrow, I have to travel back home. When that time comes, it will have been eight days since it started. I've been growing antsy. I don't need somebody to accompany me when I go to the bathroom. Sometimes Mark will be able to take the mask off for a few minutes, and at such times I will be able to see him genuinely smiling rather than having to speculate as to whether or not he is.

Just wait a little longer, Lucaro. In 12 days, all of this would come to an end.

I wouldn’t be so sure, she murmured back. “The wedding date,” Valen said then. My thoughts snapped back to him, ignoring my wolf. “Will be set for 60 days from now.” Wait. Just sixty days?
